USB Guitar by Behringer

[edge100]

This type of product is the definition of the old adage, 'penny wise, pound foolish'.

I've never been a huge Behringer hater. They've made some ok products (the VAmp2 has some nice amp sims and the VVerb Pro is a GREAT value). But when it comes to an instrument, you are FAR better off making an investment in something decent than spending 140 euros on poor quality. You will NEVER learn on a poor quality instrument, and you'll constantly be making compromises to suit the instrument, and consequently never learning properly.

Even if you are buying a guitar for a beginning guitarist (say a young child), you're better off to buy something decent (even a Mexican Standard Strat is fine and cheap) so the child can learn properly. Instruments hold their resale value fairly well, so even if the child wants to take up the recorder or football or poker next year, you can still make back most of your money on resale.

Oh well.
